@Ingolf No, I do get it. That feeling is hard to replace. I learned to type on a typewriter so that's probably why I'm adjusted to working with a lot of key travel. I've seen the "drummy" keyboards and they do sound so nice on a good surface and look fun to use. I need my wrists to be stay relatively mobile especially as a tablet user. The Keychrons are not impervious to issues. I had a bit of key chatter on occasion with the Q6 Max when I first started with it probably because of the rubber gaskets, but I think the board broke in enough that it settled because I don't really have a problem now with it. (It did require a firmware update, though)

@Boldline said in Arrange order icons - more intuitive and clean option?: the "arrange order" icons in Affinity seem more intutive to me than what we have in VS and it looks cleaner: I like the VS solution better and faster to use. In my opinion, even icons are clearer in VS.

@VectorStyler System: MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (25D2128)

@monsterfox I will try to fix this

said in Redrawing screen hide toolbars and then show them again: @VectorStyler In 017 it also does the same. For some reason 018 does it but not so often. I was believen it was fixed, but at last, it did it. I know you couldnt find the casus still, but anyway i believed was good to know.

@Boldline This is a great idea about collecting tips and tricks on this topic. And I really do hope that you are able to make some videos on these tools specifically. If I recall you have been central to bringing about things like the Bezigon tool. I remember really liking it in Freehand but so far it doesn't click for me in VS. Maybe it's that after creating the curves they are normal Bezier handles instead of staying the type of automatic curving that the Freehand version created.

@shomnipotence That looks awesome

@Subpath said in How to quickly copy halftone appearance to new shape?: i think the methode vectorstyler mentioned "save as preset works" best I agree that is currently the best option for getting what I was requesting. I think it's also a great solution long term if you know you're going to use it frequently or in other projects down the road. However, I also think @vectorstyler is right to add the basic copy/paste option for quick and easy one-time editing. Both options will have their due place in VS

@VectorStyler Proportional issue fixed. Thanks!

@macos There an option in Settings -> Other Options: "Paste with Artboard Position" If enabled, it should keep the Artboard relative position

@VectorStyler said in Expand Group Opacity question shows no difference: @William-Kansepa For some settings changes you may need to reopen the document (and for others, restart the app) I think that could be the reason why it was refusing to work. Maybe an indication to mark that a certain setting requires a restart after editing it? Other software have an asterisk to indicate restart.

@VectorStyler Hm, figured it out. It must be set here ... [image: 1777450854829-93c46c12-e929-451a-b581-c04526bd7dac-image.png]

@VectorStyler said in Change Screen Mode does not work: Is this the "Single Document View" mode? this should be inactive if no document is open. This is happening when I have open documents.

I get the same issue with Affinity designer 2.0 and Affinity Studio When looking in clipboard at the svg of a rectangle copied from Affinity, then pasted in VS and copied to clipboard from VS, I can see a difference : Copied from Affinity : 992x525: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="992px" height="595px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:2;"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-384,-378)"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-1176,-147)"> <rect x="1560" y="525" width="992" height="595" style="fill:rgb(235,235,235);"/> </g> </g> </svg> Copied from VS : 238x143 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="239" height="143" viewBox="0 0 239 143" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xml:name="Untitled-1"> <defs/> <g transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 -0.0 -1.0 0.0 142.8) "> <path d="M396.1966 18.5092 L396.1966 161.3092 634.2766 161.3092 634.2766 18.5092 396.1966 18.5092 Z" transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 -396.19663361 -18.50924665) " fill="#EBEBEB" fill-rule="evenodd"/> </g> </svg>

Thank @VectorStyler! Right clicking for the new Pen Tools is now available in VS 1.3.017 and it's working perfectly!

@VectorStyler Thank you so much.

@ZATOPEK Hi, Maybe this could be useful. I made a short video showing a simple way to create a metaball-like effect in VectorStyler. The method uses a combined path with two live offsets: first a positive offset, then a negative offset. This creates a smooth connection between the shapes while keeping the result editable. Here is the video: https://imgur.com/a/r0xsB1S

@debraspicher The only problem is that it should change the selected node position, not the opposite one. Il will fix this.

@William-Kansepa said in update 1.3.015: Am getting same result whether the option is checked or unchecked. I will test this more. The option name should be "Allow Ungrouping of Clipping Groups"
